    Provoke used to merely put the user at the top of the list but not anymore, idr the exact number but on top of putting the tank at the top it also generates a crazy amount of enimity. Something you'd have to afk for a while to have a dps/healer steal it from you.

    Oh. Wasn't aware of that. Thank you for clarifying that. Guess I mistakenly found an old guide...

    Is it "a crazy amount"? I know that it used to just be Current top +1, but thought it was changed to something akin to 2000 potency (in addition to moving you to the top), which would be 20,000 damage to take back if they just used that. Certainly isn't "nothing", but I just want to understand if that changed.
